Classic Mac Questions:
1. Where's "My Computer"? Upper left, now it's named "Macintosh HD", same thing though
2. How do I right click? Hold down control, while clicking (you can also use ANY three button mouse
Another way? Set up your trackpad (in System Prefs, Apple menu) for a two finger click.
3. Where are my programs??? Click on "Macintosh HD"....see Applications? That's it. It's called a synonym.
